    Shroud of Eternity: Sister of Darkness: The Nicci Chronicles, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1162min
    Shroud of Eternity picks up where Terry Goodkind's New York Times bestseller Death's Mistress left off, promising a thrilling brew of bloodshed, sex, deception, and sorcery. The formidable sorceress Nicci and her companions - the newly powerless Nathan and the youthful Bannon - set out on another quest after driving ruthless Norukai slavers out of Renda Bay. Their mission: restore Nathan's magic and, for Nicci, save the world. Guided by the witch-woman Red's mysterious prophecy, the trio makes their way south of Kol Adair towards a wondrous city shrouded behind time, Ildakar. But the grotesque omens on their path to Nathan's salvation - severed Norukai heads on pikes, a genetically modified monster, and a petrified army of half a million - are just a taste of the unimaginable horrors that await within the Shroud of Eternity. ungekürzt.

    Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution
    The heroic story of the founding of the US Navy during the American Revolution has been told before, yet missing from most maritime histories of the country's first war is the ragtag fleet of private vessels, from 20-foot whaleboats to 40-cannon men-of-war, that truly revealed the new nation's character-above all, its ambition and entrepreneurial ethos. In Rebels at Sea, best-selling historian Eric Jay Dolin corrects that significant omission and contends that privateers, though often seen as profiteers at best and pirates at worst, were in fact critical to the American Revolution's outcome. Armed with cannons, swivel guns, muskets and pikes-as well as government documents granting them the right to seize enemy ships-thousands of privateers tormented the British on the broad Atlantic and in bays and harbours on both sides of the ocean. Abounding with tales of daring manoeuvers and deadly encounters, Rebels at Sea presents the American Revolution as we have rarely seen it before.

    Legion versus Phalanx: The Epic Struggle for Infantry Supremacy in the Ancient World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
    Taking a populist approach to a serious subject, Myke Cole combines a novelist's flair for drama with an ancient historian's eye for detail to create a unique book that delves into one of the most popular areas of the Ancient World.From the time of Ancient Sumeria, the heavy infantry phalanx dominated the battlefield. Armed with spears or pikes, standing shoulder to shoulder with shields interlocking, the men of the phalanx presented an impenetrable wall of wood and metal to the enemy. Until, that is, the Roman legion emerged to challenge them as masters of infantry battle.Covering the period in which the legion and phalanx clashed (280 - 168 BC), Myke Cole delves into their tactics, arms and equipment, organization and deployment. Drawing on original primary sources to examine six battles in which the legion fought the phalanx - Heraclea (280 BC), Asculum (279 BC), Beneventum (275 BC), Cynoscephalae (197 BC), Magnesia (190 BC), and Pydna (168 BC) - he shows how and why the Roman legion, with its flexible organization, versatile tactics and iron discipline, came to eclipse the hitherto untouchable Hellenistic phalanx and dominate the ancient battlefield.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    The Archer's Return: Archers Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 252min
    The Archers is an exciting action-packed adventure saga set in medieval England during the days of the Templar knights and the crusades. It is the tale of an Englishman who rose to become the captain of a company of archers and lead its survivors back to feudal England from King Richard's crusade - and forever change medieval and modern England and Britain. Many of the archers do not return as a result of disease and intense fighting, but some of the former serfs and free men do return - as battle hardened veterans determined to improve their lot in cruel and brutal feudal England. This exciting war novel combines action-packed historical fiction with a family saga during a time of almost continuous war and conflict. The Archer's Return is the third novel in this great saga. William leaves his son, George, and his brother, Thomas, in England and returns to the ports of the Holy Land with his company's ranks and galleys filled with newly recruited archers armed with long bows and bladed pikes - to earn coins for his family and men by helping refugees escape from the victorious Saracens and carrying pilgrims and merchants between the crusader ports in the face of the Moorish pirates who dominate the Mediterranean Sea and the Barbary Coast. ungekürzt.
